Question

Krishna sold a TV at a loss of 5%.if he had sold it for Rs375 more he would have gained 10%on it .Find its C.P

Answer 1

let cp be x
now he sold tv at a price = x - x/20
if he would have sold it at 375 more he would have 10% profit
therefore, x - x/20 + 375 = x + x/5
from it we get x = 2500

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let CP of TV be x

Loss% = 5%

$SP=\frac{CP(100-L)}{100}$

$SP=\frac{x(100-5)}{100}$

$SP=\frac{95x}{100}$

Profit % = 10%

$SP=\frac{CP(100+P)}{100}$

$SP=\frac{x(100+10)}{100}$

$SP=\frac{110x}{100}$

we are given that Krishna sold a TV at a loss of 5%.if he had sold it for Rs375 more he would have gained 10%on it

So, $\frac{110x}{100}-\frac{95x}{100}=375$

$x=2500$

Hence the CP is Rs.2500
